[quote=Anonymous]Agree that you simply can’t broadly compare private v. public schools. And no comment re the people who think all private is necessarily better simply because they can pay for it.

But one broad observation, in my experience with both:

— there are some great public schools and great teachers at public schools. If your local school works for you, you’re in luck.

— if public doesn’t work for whatever reason, whether it’s because they’re not meeting the  needs of an intellectually curious and gifted kid, and/or a kid needs special learning supports/has special needs, or a kid is just getting lost in a big classroom, then in general, you will find what you need if you can go the private school route. There’s an incredibly broad spectrum of private schools in this area; most will provide smaller classes and more focused attention. Some provide more rigor and enrichment, some provide more supports. Some cater to families with kids with special needs and “behaviors.” It’s all generally self selecting and you have to figure out the right fit for your kid. [/quote]
